Let's say the NHRA decides to let me run the D/Dart in stock. Besides the HP change what changes can I make to the package to make it competitive and what special pieces do I need?....intake, carb, etc?

Jim, one of the special pieces you need is the intake. The D-Dart intake manifold is a single plane identical to the Chrysler 318 marine intake manifold.

Actually, the intake is P/N 2536771 which came on the W/CAP engines. Both of the D/Darts that I've owned had this intake on them. The holes for the throttle plates are the size of the Carter AFB's. They were not modifies for the Holley. So, the adapter plate has the large holes for the Holley, but the intake doesn't. It make no sense to me as to why they did this.

The hardest parts to find are the carb and air cleaner. The Holley carb is -- List 3778. It was a special carb just for the D/Dart. It's not even listed on the Holley website. The air cleaner is also special built. It's impossible to find either of these parts. The carb to intake adapter was manufactured in house. You can see the band saw marks on the edge of the adapter. Pretty crude.
